Aftermarket T-top

[Grover70]

Has anyone purchased an aftermarket t-top for the 190 FSH? I have the bimini but have been looking at a t-tops from different suppliers. Currently, I like Dolphin t-tops. I also have Seadek installed and they said it could either be mounted on on top of the Seadek or I could cut it away to reveal the deck. Any opinions or experience with this?

I would never mount anything that should be solidly mounted on top of seadek. If you don’t want a very shaky tower it needs to mount to the deck itself.

I thought the same thing when they suggested it. It would not be difficult to trace the base connector of the t/top to the deck and just cut it out. Then I would cut a small channel for water to drain out from around the base so it wouldn't pool. If it were easy to remove the Seadek and just buy new Seadek I would. Alas, that isn't the case.

I would mount it cut around the mount with an X-Acto knife then peel up to see deck from under it and re-mount it tightly.
Just my $.02

I purchased a fishmaster and like it a lot based on none boating inspection only. Still waiting for the hardwater to disipate to give it a try. I would not mount anything ontop of seadeck. That seems like it would significantly takeaway from the stability and rigidity of any structural boat accessory.

In agreement. Thanks!
